Here is the simple reasons "liberals" "hate" Sarah Palin: we don't. I have no more feelings for her than I have for any other celebrity. They are ultimately simply sources of entertainment for some. The problem we have is with the movement that sprung up around her. I cannot stand the people that support Sarah Palin because they're the kind that glorify and worship whatever they're told to glorify and worship. It should be enough that I offer Sarah Palin as an example of this phenomena, but some people are so clouded on the issue, I have to start bringing up names like Joe the Plumber. The problem is the ease with which celebrity can not only replace, but defeat openly any substance.
Liberals like myself know that it's just a matter of time before either Sarah Palin comes back, or we get a new version of Sarah Palin and the whole stupid dance begins again. It pisses me off that instead of the right finding it's greatest mind to fight for their principles, they go for an empty vessel the RNC can try to fill with a bunch of contradictory bullcrap.
Nixon was a smart motherfucker. Had I been alive when he was president, I would have hated him, why? Because he was damned capable and he was working for the other side. Sarah Palin isn't anything. She's not really smart, she's not a capable speaker, she doesn't know much about politics, and she tries to make up for it with this vapid sensibility. She doesn't matter one bit, I couldn't become any more angry at her as I could at a shovel. She's just a tool. The anger on the right is at the Palin followers. You people that were willing to follow an empty shirt because it happened to house something other than an old white man and ate up what she said even when it was contradictory or nonsensical. It's the shepple, the most dangerous force in the world.
